'This invention relates to devices for aerating eggs, cream, batter andother materials.

Devices of this type have been used heretofore but they have usuallybeen provided Witha single. rotary member orag'itating the material or apair of oppositely rotatable similar members. n'the later case themembersy didl not cooperate so that one supplemented theY other wherebythe `rst delivered` the material to the second and the second beat theair into the material.

It is accordingly the primary object ofy this invention to provide abeater of the above type having two rotatable members,

one of which delivers the material to the dasher for-receiving'thematerial andl cooperating with the agitator for aerating such material.

Other and further objectsrof this invention will be apparent as the samebecomes better y uiiderstoodfrom an examination ot' the specirLioication and claims in connection with theaccompanying drawings, wherein:

embodying this. invention.

Fig. 2 is a section taken at the line 2-2 oi"V Fig.

Fig. 3 is a section taken at the line 3 3 of Fig.-2.

Fig. .4 is a bottom plan view'ot the beater.

Referring to the drawings more particularly, numeral 5 represents aframe formed by striking a flat sheet of metal to provide an uppercylindrical section' and a lower boX- like section 7 in alignmenttherewith.A One of theflongitudinal sides or" section 7 is left open.The upper and lowersides are formed with lugs Sand 9 respectively struckfrom the plate of which the trame is formed. rlhe y driving wheel ll ismounted on' a pin 12 journaled centrally in the frame` section `7Thewheel 11 is provided with circumferential apertures 13 for drivingspur gears connected Vto the'respectivc 'operating parts as will behereinafterv explained. A suitable handle 14 isprovided on a peripheralextension 15 of the wheel samefrfiz'm. di,

A handle 16 is fitted in the upper endot the section k6 of the frame 5formanually` supporting the .beater with one lie'indwhile 11y'torInianu'ally operating the" rotating the wheel 11' by means of thehandle 141-with the other hand. n l

A strip 17 lis'bent intermediate of itsends totorm a bight18 andSaidends'are secured by lspot-welding` orother suitable' means to thevinner side of the longitudinal walls 19 ofthe ramevsection 7 wherebysaid `strip acts asan extension of the frame. A spindle 21 is journaledin the lugs'8 and 9: and yalso in the strip 17 atthe end ofthe bight`18.A spur gear 22 is rigidly securedat the' upperend of the spindle 21above'the lug 8 and is adapted to meshfin'theapertures 13v of the*drivingwheel 11 whereby thespindlemay be ldriven as said wheelis-rotated.` Acupy shaped agitator 23 is mounted on the'lowerl endofrthe-spindlef2l `withinthe bight` 18 with its open-.end upward and isadapted y' 802 to-rest onfthe strip. 17 at the end of saidV bight [totake upv the downward thrust.` The agitato`r23 is of=slieet-metal .andis provided y 1 Withfdownwardly struckv angula-rly 'spaced- Fig. 1 is anelevational view of a beater blades 24: which, 'although they extendradially on'the agitator, are designedvto direct material "upwardly andaxiallyther'eof. f

Abovev the agitator 23 there is mounted a n are in the planeof rotationsov that the narspaced blades, thebroad'surfaces of which A1GO row edgeactsto cut the material delivered upwardly by the agitator 23. Theseblades extend into the upper or open end of the agitator in closeproximity to the blades thereof whereby said agitator may moreefficiently cooperate with the dasher.

By means of the foregoing arrangement providing for cooperation betweenthe agitator 23 and dasher 27, a great. eficiency is obtained inaeraeting eggs, cream, batter and other materials much less time beingnecessary without any greater effort on the part of theV operator thanobtained in the use of former beaters.

It will'also be apparent that the afore-k described beater is simple andeconomical of manufacture andconvenient of operation. The operation ofthe beater and other advantages thereof will be apparent without furtherdescription.

QI am aware that many details may be varied without departing from theprinciples of this invention and I therefore do not wish to be limitedto the details described.

I claim: Y l; In a deviceof` the class described, a frame, a rotatablemember carried thereby and having means thereon for directing thematerial to be beaten in an axial direction and a second rotatablemember carried by said frame andbeing provided with blades having theirbroad faces substantially in the plane of rotation, said second memberbeing arranged to revolve in close proximity tov said first rotatablemember to receive the material .delivered by said rst mentionedrotatable member and disperse the materialv 'laterally to aerate thesame.

i 2. Ina device ofthe class described', the combination of a frame, -acup-shaped agitator rotatably carried thereby', said agitator havingmeans thereony to direct a fluid .axi-

` ally thereof and a dasher rotatably carried by the frame and extendinginto the open end of said agitator, said ldasher having portions thereofarranged to receive the iuid from said agitator and direct the iuidtoward said-agitator to aerate the vfluid.

In witness of the foregoing I aflix my signature.
